Broccoli

Broccoli

Type	Crop

Broccoli is a Fall vegetable that regrows after each harvest. Unlike most crops, its seeds come from digging Seed Spots, trading Moss with Mrs. Raccoon, fishing treasure and a handful of other finds. Once planted, a single seed keeps giving heads every few days until winter. Broccoli is a filling food for its price, and most villagers like it as a gift.

Growing

Broccoli grows through four even stages before its first harvest. After that, the plant regrows a new head every four days and stays in the ground for the rest of Fall.

A seed planted on the first of Fall gives five harvests before winter. The last few days of the season are left idle, because no further regrowth can finish in time.

Broccoli Seeds turn up in several places. Digging up Seed Spots can turn them up, and these spots are a common way to find the first few. Mrs. Raccoon trades Broccoli Seeds for Moss once the Raccoon story has moved along. Crates and barrels in the mines, Golden Fishing Treasure Chests and the Prize Machine in Mayor Lewis's house can also give them. A Seed Maker turns harvested Broccoli into more seeds, which is the easiest way to grow a larger patch.

Speed-Gro and the Agriculturist profession shorten the first growth only. Deluxe Fertilizer is the only way to grow iridium Broccoli. Iridium heads restore much more energy and health than normal ones.

Prices

Each head sells for a modest amount, but five harvests from one seed add up. Because the seeds are free from foraging or trades, almost everything a plant earns is profit.

As a vegetable, Broccoli can become Juice in a Keg or Pickles in a Preserves Jar. Pickles are worth more and finish faster. Both machines more than double the value of a head, and the Artisan profession adds forty percent on top. The Tiller profession adds ten percent to the raw price.

Broccoli makes a good food crop for its value. A normal head restores more energy than many crops that sell for more. Gold and iridium heads are handy snacks for the mines.

Uses

With the Remixed Bundles, Broccoli may be one of the options for the Fall Crops Bundle in the Pantry.

In tailoring, Broccoli in the Sewing Machine with Cloth makes a dyeable Button Down Shirt. Broccoli also dyes clothing green in the Sewing Machine and fills the green dye pot in Emily and Haley's house.

Gifts

Broccoli is a liked gift for most of the valley. Broccoli is a welcome gift for the shopkeepers Clint, Gus, Marnie, Pierre, Robin and Willy. Leo likes it too, and so do the Dwarf, Krobus, Sandy and the Wizard. The same goes for the marriage candidates Alex, Elliott, Emily, Harvey, Leah, Maru, Penny, Sebastian and Shane, and for Caroline, Demetrius, Evelyn, George, Jodi, Kent, Lewis, Linus and Pam.

Abigail, Haley, Jas, Sam and Vincent dislike it.

A regrowing plant gives a steady stream of liked gifts through Fall without any further cost.

Notes

Plant any Broccoli Seeds found during Summer as soon as Fall begins. An early planting gets the most harvests out of each seed.

Put one of the first heads into a Seed Maker. A few extra plants turn Broccoli from a curiosity into a useful Fall patch.
